The 12-year-old is understood to have loved horses and US rock band Black Veil Brides. Lara’s suicide is the third teenage death to be linked with cyber bullying in recent months.

Lara was a first year student at Maynooth Post Primary School; in a statement the victim’s school described her death as a terrible tragedy.

“We are deeply saddened by these events. Our sympathy and thoughts are with Lara's family and friends.”

Lara’s suicide is the third among young teens in recent months. In September 15-year-old Ciara Pugsley from Leitrim took her own life. Last month Erin Gallagher, 13, from Ballybofey, Co Donegal, also committed suicide.
